String Padding in C

Question

I wrote this function that\'s supposed to do StringPadRight(\"Hello\", 10, \"0\") -> \"Hello00000\".

char *StringPadRight(char *string, int padded_len, char          


        

Answer 1

The function itself looks fine to me. The problem could be that you aren't allocating enough space for your string to pad that many characters onto it. You could avoid this problem in the future by passing a size_of_string argument to the function and make sure you don't pad the string when the length is about to be greater than the size.
